First war of independence: 1857
#89
If I am right -

- Mangal Pandey triggers the war in March, 1857 in Barrakpur Cantt near Kolkata.
- Uprising began in Meerut on May 10, 1857.

I would like to know about two things:

- What went on between March and May of 1857.
- What triggered the events at Meerut.

I also would ike to know some more facts about Oudh (Awadh) Annexation. Awadh was not a total region controlled by Nawab Wajid Ali Shah from Lucknow. In the interiors of Oudh there were independent Hindu princes and independants as well. While Wajid Ali Shah was based in Lucknow (and Faizabad), there were Hidu princes in interiors like Gonda, Balrampur, Tulsipur, Naugarh, Manikapur and various other smaler areas on the borders of Nepal and today's Uttar Pradesh.

Having once lived in that region of UP I had heard some folklores which talked about some of these princes and even one queen having led their people into fighting bravely with British forces. Some other stories are about very active support from Nepal's kingdm. I also heard stories of bravery of Begum Hazrat Mahal of Lucknow having led the resistance. Though I have not learnt what does "official" history say...anyone knows?

Also king of Banaras and people of some towns in Bihar gave stiff resistance to British, which is not well registered?

Regards
